The Fabulous 50's Diner in Harrogate

The banana milkshake was so deliciously tasty 😋. Friendly staff and the atmosphere is great. Just like an American 50's diner 🙂

Went tonight with kids for birthday meal. Excellent service from all members of staff. Food was delicious too.

very friendly staff loved the food there. 10⭐

Food is all frozen and bought from a supermarket and the owner is moody and rude do not go here

My wife and me popped in for lunch. I love American diners but as I live in Yorkshire and not as I used to in New Jersey the choice is limited. I had the Philly cheesesteak which came with fries, coleslaw and was in a ciabattta. It was superb. I have been to Philadelphia a couple of times and had Philly cheesesteak in Philadelphia and this one was much better. The quality of the steak was awesome and the ciabattta better than in the USA as USA bread like their chocolate, in my opinion is not good. Great friendly service too. We did chuckle as one of the rock and roll songs playing in the background included the lyrics ' I love my girl because she swims like a frog and lives in a hollow log'. Different benchmarks in the 1950s.

This was a fun place to go with delicious food/milkshakes and lovely staff. Really jazzy with funky 50s music. Our waiter was really smiley and kind and looked after us well. Would definitely recommend and very good price. 5 stars from me

The menu has a large choice the is cooked to perfection The staff is warm and welcoming The ambiance is great We have been a couple of times and look forward to returning

I’m sure the food and the restaurant are lovely but we had a delivery and it doesn’t travel well at all. It arrived very cold and soggy - a huge disappointment when we’d paid over £50. We could tell it would have been good though 👍🏻

It's awesome place and amazing food. Just wish it was open in its opening hours... Can't reliy on that tho

Lovely restaurant with lovely people. The food was gorgeous as usual and today we tried the pizza (new on the menu) and it had been very nice. For desert we wanted something with fruits so we had the “fruit cup refresher “.

Very disappointed to visit today to find it closed from 2-5pm, just when the weather was ideal for a treat. Nothing on website to inform customers.

We went here on bank holiday Monday after a busy day at Stockeld Park. The waitress was welcoming and gave the kids (4,7 & 10) a selection of toys to chose to play with. Their food came in car shaped boxes, which they loved as well as the food, which was really reasonably priced. The adults enjoyed their food too. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in Harrogate again.

Food was good - decent sized portions and tasty. Service wasn't great - slow and several errors with our order.

Loved this place such a great atmosphere, service and good and selection, visited from Manchester and will definitely be back ❤️

Lovely chilled out place for a great range of burgers and amazing pancakes!! Thank you for looking after us.

Best part was the waitress came to the table when needed but actually just left us to enjoy our family visit. Enjoyed the food, enjoyed the Milkshake and I just love the Music. Fairly priced as well

Gorgeous pancakes, really tasty.

Great experience and lovely food. Chef came up and asked us if we had enjoyed our meals and the price was reasonable. Will definitely visit again.

We had a brilliant birthday meal at the 50s Diner today. I booked online and let them know it was my daughters birthday. The diner decorated our table, complete with party hats. They also brought a birthday cake with candles and birthday song to the table after our food. We were made to feel like VIPs, the food was fantastic, service amazing and we will definitely be recommending to all our friends. Thank you for making our daughters birthday meal so special :-)

The Fabulous 50's Diner Harrogate Good diner The food is perfect. Go there it’s worth it. I liked the free wifi. Food was real good. The service was perfect.

Came here for breakfast on a weekend trip to Harrogate and was not disappointed. I had the blueberry and yoghurt pancakes and my husband had bacon and maple syrup pancakes- both equally delicious! The atmosphere is great with 50’s music playing in the background and great banquettes to sit on . Staff lovely, atmosphere great and food gorgeous. Would definitely go back.

Fabulous 👌 We had a great family meal out here for 4 and the service was fantastic and friendly. The calazone pizza was amazing with plenty of fillings, the meatloaf was also very tasty. We would not hesitate to recommend this place and we certainly will return. Thank you for a nice dining experience, and well done 👏

Love this place,the pancakes are delicious, lovely people

Visited here for first time in a while. There's a new owner (chef) and new staff. Service was fab and friendly, chef made extra effort to check we were happy with our food. We had a mix between us, meatloaf, American biscuit and gravy, Calzones and a breakfast followed by pancakes and apple pie. The pancakes were divine, super fluffy and tasty. Great relaxed atmosphere with a bit of Frank Sinatra in the back ground. Great place to munch and catch up with friends and family. We will definitely be back THANK YOU ♥️

Lovely atmosphere. Milkshakes and food was amazing. 100% recommend to anyone visiting Harrogate! Milkshakes were best we’ve ever had

Enjoyable meal, hot, freshly made fries and tasty chicken burger. Delicious milkshake. Generous portion sizes, reasonable prices. Not many people eating there however? Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys American diner food.

me and my son camr here on monday. The young lady was very welcoming and looked after us very well. Food was appetising. Will definitely return!

I had a great experience at the Fabulous 50s Diner in Harrogate This morning. I really enjoyed the sausage sandwich and latte I ordered. The fun 1950s-inspired decor put me in a good mood. My waitress Grace provided very friendly and attentive service that enhanced my visit. She took the time to explain the menu and made sure I had what I wanted. Grace checked on me frequently throughout the meal to ensure I was happy with everything. The food at Fabulous 50s Diner is delicious, and the service from the staff makes the experience even better. The diner well presented with warm hospitality. Overall, I had an enjoyable time at the diner and will definitely be going back soon. The food, atmosphere and service come together to create a welcoming retro experience.

We picked up this place on facebook so thought we would give it a try. We are so pleased we did, great decor, friendly staff and a surprisingly large menu. The food was cooked and presented beautifully. Would strongly recommend a visit to this great establishment

Why are places like mcdonalds full when places like this are quiet! Lovely, waitress delicious food and massive milkshake! Happy customers, didn't realise it had recently changed hands, wish them well x

Great meal out here today. The menu choices were great, the food was very good and the staff welcoming and friendly. I’d recommend it. It’s definitely worth a visit

Visited here on a rainy Wednesday eve in July-very easy to book via fb messenger and also make our booking earlier as we were getting hangry!! Arrived to a reserved booth as requested service was very slick and we soon had placed our order of burgers fries and onion straws for adults and pizzas with free fries (instead of free chicken wings) for the boys age 10 and 12. The peanut butter milkshakes were huge served in metal american cups and were fabulous-as was the food We loved the little touches where the chef came up from the kitchen to check we were happy and the little treats brought for the boys at the end of the meal 💖 Really pleased can’t wait to return on our next trip to Harrogate x

Lovely diner, great food and shakes 😋 friendly customer service and good atmosphere.

The first thing that struck me was the warm and friendly staff who greeted me with genuine smiles. Their attentiveness and knowledge about the menu immediately put me at ease, and I felt comfortable seeking their recommendations. The food was brilliant and I enjoyed every bit of it I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been positive I highly recommend this place.

Amazing pizza Very good music and service

I ate pizza there. It's really a beautiful and cheap place and it has a great service that deserves appreciation. When I'm confused about going anywhere I'll go to. It's a great place worth five stars 🙏

Fantastic experience! Been in this morning for breakfast with a friend. We sat outside in the little hut. Highly recommend the food and milkshakes! The chef even came out to check on us and if we were happy with the food - brilliant service all round 👏🏼

My son and I have just been for breakfast. I had the big breakfast, he had the breakfast wrap. Both were substantial and delicious. Tea served in a pot which is always preferable. Total cost under £20. We'll be back.

I'd seen this place in June but it was closed at the time. So tonight I gave it a try. Burger and fries nicely cooked. Did take a while but I didn't mind. Let down for me was the music wasn't on. I'm sure they would have put it on if I'd asked but wasn't sure they had any till I read the reviews. I will know next time. Very quiet which for me was good.

A great place to get some breakfast / brunch, the waffles are amazing and the milkshakes are perfection (and massive). If you have a breakfast you can have a free hot drink too, a really nice touch. The staff are lovely, really friendly and the service is quick so you won’t be waiting around. You can sit outside on their terrace, or enjoy the great 50’s decor inside. Prices are great for the food on offer, and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great too. I was honestly surprised more people weren’t there as it truly is a unique and wonderful restaurant.

Nice place with nice staff. Food is also great.

very good, very beautiful location worth spending some time relaxing for a coffee, a juice and a snack. I recommend 100%.good luck!

So delicious and good..fabulous..recommend 100%

It is brilliant I recommend 100%

Very nice food and reasonable prices

Comfortable atmosphere with lively music of 50-60s. Great, hot delicious food! Polite waitress, Clean toilet downstair!

Excellent breakfast, lots of choice and if you simply want a full English every item is fabulous and as healthy as it gets.

Verry bed customer service....The owner of this business, who works in the kitchen, has no concept of food safety, nor does he respect it...he places the meat by hand on plates and in delivery boxes. Mess on the table from food preparation. He is a person who has no respect...Very disappointing!

We visited about 5ish and the place wasn't busy just us and other family. Given time to choose and TBF there was a good offering on the menu. Issues we found, no chair was offered for my 2 year old but not sure how this could have fitted as they may be a had a table too many. Pink Cadillac Car boxes for the kids meal we didn't get, I would remove this from the menu/ website. However there did get given a toy each at the end which more then made up for it ( not the greatest toy but most kids don't mind). Food this was good, I had the black and blue burger which was nice. We also had the ribs which my wife said was good. Littles ones had pizza which he enjoyed and mac and cheese for the little little one. Overall it was a great place to visit, clean and very much like a dinner and the music was spot on, just a few bits to improve on but I would still go back to try out the breakfast.

Fantastic food ( steak sandwich is great, and the veggie pizza is loaded!) Grat ambience. Clean comfortable and greatl service!

Was a miserable night and it made for a lovely respite from the rain. Food was nice and the milkshakes were amazing and great value!

Fabulous place with great music and decor. We had the Philly cheese steak sandwiches, which were fantastic and the milkshakes are amazing!! Well worth a visit.

Hidden gem in Harrogate. Great decor and music, and the food was fab, served in 50's style baskets. My husband had a milkshake which kept his sugar levels up for the rest of the day! Great service, loved the nostalgia.

Lovely burgers and milkshakes, well worth a visit 👍

Came for lunch with my wife and two kids. Sadly, most (if not all) of the food is not fresh. Had the sharing nachos - which consisted of canned chilli, which was microwave lid with a tiny bit of melted cheese on top. The guacamole was definitely prepackaged and tasted weird. There was a hand full of nacho chips to the side. Surprisingly, the salsa was freshly made, though it was tiny and the tomatoes were not ripened… The hotdogs were not good quality and we’re very dry. Burger patties were also dry and tasteless. Most certainly cooked from frozen. The relish was from a pack… and it was sour. The fries were essentially mcCains frozen chips… The only redeemer was the peanut butter milkshake, which was big, thick and tasty. Considering nothing is fresh, I consider the menu to be overpriced and we will not be returning, sadly.

Great friendly service. Had the pastrami turkey and ham sandwich which was wonderful...very tasty...and a lovely milkshake which my wife tried to pinch.....would recommend

All that glitters is not gold! This place looks the part, but the food is absolutely awful and way overpriced. It's cheap, not freshly made and bland. Terrible waste of money and would not eat there again even if it was free. Tip: don't serve up tastless, bottled guacamole. Buy an avocado and make it yourself!

Fantastic food, service and price. Great music, captures the 50's Diner perfectly. We had nachos, fajitas, and Tacos, followed by fabulous ice cream sundaes.

Lovely, friendly staff. Great food with generous portions and 50’s music playing in the background. Sat in a window booth and had the place almost to ourselves. Son enjoyed it so much on a visit with my parents, we had a weekend away and he wanted to take me. Definitely be back.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Went on a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Nice wings and burgers. I will go back for sure

It pains me to leave this review, as the lady who runs this lovely little place was equally lovely, however it simply wasn’t up to my expectations. The first thing was the temperature it’s absolutely sun zero temperatures in there!! I ordered a burger that really lacked flavour, over done and had bits of grissle in the meat, that actually got lodged in the gap of my teeth requiring a toothpick to remove. I finally wrestled the offending item out, but was the subject to an interesting Eton mess with the meringue layered at the top under cream??? The system of an Eton mess stack should have the meringue near the base or otherwise the ice cream to cream ratio is flawed when the spoons deep dives (this made eating very hard work)

No maple syrup with pancakes… overpriced for the quality Hotdog cold Chicken sizzlers overpriced and no dipping sauce Sadly Wouldn’t recommend

Ooooo, lovely little place. Stupendously good muso playing, I couldn't keep still, pure nostalgia, even if it was before my era! Great vibe. Spotlessly clean diner with polite waitress who was assiduous in her scrupulous cleaning. Loo is downstairs. Peanut butter milkshake was really peanutty and I am glad it wasn't a full serving as it was huge and filling as it was. I had cheesy scrambled eggs which menu said came on toasted bloomer, but it just looked like ordinary bread to me and it was dry with no butter. Scrambled eggs were great and very filling. Oh yikes.... they do ostrich, kangaroo and crocodile burgers.... Gave them a miss! I would revisit, yeah, cos the eggs were good, staff was polite and muso was top notch.

What a fab meal. Everything tasted amazing and it was a great night for us all. Thank you and we’d highly recommend! We’ll be back again for sure!

Brilliant food. Far too much for me, so I was given a box to carry my leftovers home. The ice cream and waffles being eaten by neighbouring tables looked amazing too.

Food was lovely had cooked breakfast

Went with my girls for a cheeky Sunday lunch.. Was good food, I enjoyed the apple pie for desert. Would definitely go again.

Was part of a party of nine, meals came out at random times. Orders taken wrongly, some meals never arrived. Décor ok music in sync with the environment. However would I return? Not unless paid to go, terrible food and service.

Burger and fries are excellent quality and good sized portions. Cole slaw is a ridiculously small amount. Malted milk shake is as good as anything I had living 15 years in North America. Attractive new seats are too soft and you can feel the springs on your bum. For the food alone it's well worth a visit.

Amaizing food, friendly staff. All what you need to have a good time for breakfast/dinner! Been there a couple of times but definitely going back for a few more! 😀

One of the nicest burgers I have ever had.

Good portions sizes, burgers very nice and milkshakes are a dream. Good value for kids meals too.

Google said it’s open until 22:00 on a Saturday and it had been verified, we went there specifically at 21:00 on a Saturday and it was closed ☹️

Took the dog with onion and pickle and Oreo shake. Super tasty Dog, immaculately presented, fabulous 50s soundtrack playing throughout, huge delicious shake perfectly crafted and pleasing on the eye and the taste buds. Majestic skin on fries too My fave eatery in Harrogate. Great value and just a downright rad place to eat.

We went for breakfast. Food arrived very quickly service was nice. The pancakes were fabulous and the American breakfast was tasty and quality. I recommend this place and will go back for more. The decor was sublime and the music was part of the experience.

Service is good and friendly. Food was very nice.

Just been here tonight with my husband and 2 teenage kids. The fries were nice and crunchy. My husband had the chilli beef hot dog which he said was tasty, I had the the vegetable fajitas and I must say they were the best fajitas I've ever had. The kids loved they're chocolate sauce pancakes. They said they were unreal. The place was clean, the music was good and the lady who served us was attentative and friendly. Will definitely be back.

The best thing we could say about it was that the cheese cake was flavourless. Soggy bottoms buns, burnt burgers and peppery mash. 55 quid it cost me and I was ok with that cause of the usual quality of the food. It was near closing but next time (if there is one) reject my order if you aren’t going to be bothered to make the food properly. Honestly never been so disappointed in a take away ever. I’ve only gone cause of the two times I’ve eaten here before which were decent. Honestly gutted to leave a review like this cause I loved it but I probably won’t order again. Even the chips were underwhelming to their usual. Sorry guys.

Had some lovely food here. The service was excellent and the food arrived quickly and was full of flavour. We had the chocolate milkshake which was incredible and very large. Also had the fried chicken burger and hotdog with fried onion straws and pickles. We finished on the apple pie with pouring cream - best apple pie I've ever had. The main course food was excellent, well presented, cooked perfectly and very tasty. Excellent value for money, large portions and friendly service. Also the atmosphere was fun and the excellent music really added to the experience. I highly recommend!

Worst restaurant I've eaten at in the UK by far. Food is low end rubbish and prices are high. Had to send the nachos back as they are doritos with some kind of cheese and then our burgers had hair in them. Plenty of other good places to eat around harrogate than this one.

The food was well below par. The service made matters worse. We were looking forward to an enjoyable experience but this wasn't it. We will not return.

Fab place, lovely food. Friendly staff. Great shakes

Inedible overpriced food. They should stick to the milkshakes and hot dogs! Steak was so tough and mushrooms were cold and completely raw, Food - if you can call it that took absolutely ages to arrive.

The food it's really good, strongly recommend it.

Lovely and clean. Great 50s decor and friendly staff

From the 2 young girls serving to the big guy downstairs sat on crates. I had the worst attempt at a philly cheese steak sandwich. Not a cheap mistake at nearly £15. The whole experience was poor and wasnt very authentic. Not a place i would visit in a rush, if ever again.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, never disappoints!

Fantastic milkshakes and we had an american breakfast with pancakes, maple syrup etc. Been a few times now and never found it crowded so the staff are very attentive. It isn't a fast food outlet so expect to wait a little longer for ordered meals to arrive, but it isn't a huge wait and you get a meal that has been prepared with care rather than slopped out at speed.

Kids loved the mickey and minnie..food could be better .

Awesome place. Great pancakes and eggs I really enjoyed the American breakfast

Wonderful listening to 60s music while having lunch. Plenty to eat, nicely cooked. Slight problem...diner could do with being warmer, otherwise well pleased 😀

I have been in the UK for 2 months now on business, craving a taste of home That oh so simple hamburger. As such, I've had 3 hamburgers that claim to be American. None fit the bill... This includes "Fabulous 50s" Restaurants need to understand that you don't screw with the simple perfection of the American hamburger. No special seasoning in the burger meat, just salt and pepper,, no cucumber.....simple... lettuce, tomato, dill pickle, onion, ketchup and mustard... Although this burger was cooked to my liking, most restaurants here over cook the patty... Overall it wasn't bad but it wasn't an American hamburger hence the name fabulous fifties... If you want the taste of the iconic American hamburger, 5 guys can't be beat.

Lovely food, true to its name. Always sparkling clean and the waitress who served us today at lunch was absolutely phenomenal. My partner had the hot dog and I had a banana split and we both really enjoyed our food. Please try it !

Very good deco, food OK but very slow service.

The food is amazing I can't wait to come back

Excellent food and service.. Will definitely go again.

Great food lovely place will def be back 😁

Fabulous little place, had the best tea, Yorkshire of course. I didn't eat but the friend I was with did and it looked amazing! Not expensive either. There was one young lady serving and she was very friendly and polite. Can't wait to go back.

Scrumptious food and delicious milkshakes. My mum had an ostrich burger which she had never tried before and I had the garden burger - the hash browns were a real treat! Great location, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Didn’t have room for a pudding but they looked delicious. Staff were very friendly and accommodating 5*
